Schowalter Villa accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Schowalter Villa offers independent living and home care in Hesston, Kansas. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while home care brings support to a resident in their own living setting. The combination may suit someone who wants independent living with the option of receiving support at home.
Schowalter Villa opened in 1961. Jeffrey Ritcha serves as administrator, and Mennonite Board Missions Char Of Ks operates the community. With 155 beds, it is a larger community, with more residents, staff and usually more programming. Creative Arts and Intergen Connection offer opportunities for creative and intergenerational activities, while short term rehabilitation provides services for temporary recovery needs.
A Walk Score of 55 makes the area somewhat walkable, so some errands can be done on foot. A resident who no longer drives may still manage some nearby trips independently. Group transportation is available for campus activities, local events and shopping, and transportation to area churches is provided each Sunday morning at no cost.
Quality ratings
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
